Conditions

Hypervolemic and Euvolemic Hyponatremia

Brief summary

This Post-Marketing Surveillance will be conducted in accordance with the local regulation of New Drug Re-examination. The surveillance will be conducted for 6 years of the re-examination period (01Sep2011\ 31Aug2017). Each subject will be observed at least for 4 days during the surveillance period.

Detailed description

This study will be conducted as a prospective, single-arm, multicenter study. Findings on examination, diagnosis, opinions and observations implemented as per general medical practice during the observational period will be documented in the case report forms by the investigators or responsible staffs at the institution since the surveillance is an observational study.
